xanax withdrawal help in nyc

Thank u all for all possitive feedback.....well i went to e.r. and they tried to draw blood from me and my nerves got the best of me....i was too paranoid to let nurse near me with needle....so yup they gave me a 0.25 mil xanax....i felt better and under went the tests....after that they put me on i.v. due to dehydration. Tests came back negative they said i was o.k. as far as any type of real problem...so they kept me for about 3 more hours...i felt better....then before i left i told the nurse i had trouble sleeping i had run out of ambien.....so yep u guessed it she prescribed 5-0.25 xanax pills "as needed for sleep" :(....my wife came to pick me up...i was on edge all the way home......i got home bought me a soup and some ginger ale...picked up the pills and went home....i took a shower and i felt calm and cool in my bed. I drank the soup....ate some crackers...watch a little tv played with the kids for a little.....then it was time for bed...scared of the xanax...i bought me natural melantonin pills the day before anticipating the end of the ambien i had...so i took 1 10mil melantonin pill...and went tried to go to sleep...damn...i woke up about 2 hours later with crazy bad dreams and my heart racing....so i took 1 0.25 xanax and tried to relax...i calmed down and tried to go to sleep again....once again i had the worst dream ever....i kept falling over and over again like if i was high on something in my dream...i saw all my old friends....and they kept asking me if i was on drugs..i kept falling and falling and falling i felt very dizzy in my dream....woke up again paranoid as heck....tried to shake it off by watching tv drank some water....i tried going to sleep again with the same results....Now im up scared to even close my eyes.....im hungry but i have a big knot in my throat...and my stomach hurts a bit...what is this? Is it due to no ambien.....was it the melatonin....is it cause i havent smoked weed since tuesday.....is it the xanax? Is this what they call "vertigo"?....im really scared to try and sleep....i feel really really bad.....i still have 4-0.25 xanax from the script.....i dont know what to do...if i smoke weed i will have panic attack.....im so lost right now.....please please please any helpful advice? Thank you for your time.....
 
Glad to hear your feeling a little better. Those symptoms do sound rather profound, everything is always so amplified during a benzo w/d. The only advice that I can really give about benzo w/d is clench your jaw and get through it. Now if that is the best advice for you, I don't know. Nothing really helped me other than isolation, a relaxing environment, and something to keep my mind occupied. It is so easy to psych yourself up in those situations, at least for me. Deep breathing and repeated mantras of, 'I can do this, I can beat this shitty ass drug'. I also prayed ALOT.

So what is your plan? Are you going to finish those off and try again? Or are you thinking of seeing a doctor?
 
Yes...im feeling better...thanks.....i waited 24 hours before taking another xanax....those where the toughest 24 hours....only 1/4 mil....i guees weaning is really a good option.....i drank some tea before bed....and ate....not much but enough for me to feel o.k......i actually slept 6 hours....i had my usual crazy dream...but....this time i slept through it.....i really believe it was the melatonin pill i took the night before that threw me off....and i think this is more of a weed issue than anything....but the fact that im w/d from xanax makes it feel 100x worse....im planning to enter a detox program on monday...everything is closed today due to passover and good friday.....im learning so much about my self, ones true feelings come out in critical situations..wow the mind is really something incredible!!! Its incredible what we take for granted...while there are people in this world with real mental and health issues....the mind is really a terrible thing to waste!!! I believe i will be ok in due time....what do u reccomened my next move should be....am i doing something wrong......all input will be greatly appreciated...thank you.....
